The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC32X60SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 60mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service. A variable air cushion at both ends lets you tune end-of-stroke deceleration on site.
With 402 N of push at 0.5 MPa (72.5 psi), the MAC32X60SCM gives a 32 mm bore enough muscle for fixture clamping and light press work, pulling back with 345.6 N on the return stroke. Double-acting in both directions, it carries a variable air cushion at each end so needle screws can soften the 60 mm travel whichever way the piston lands.
The CM round-end back cover is the signature feature here - its rounded boss takes a pivot pin cleanly on machines where the cylinder rocks with the linkage. Build quality comes from the riveted stainless barrel and the hard-chromed 12 mm rod, both comfortable in washdown or humid shops. Sized honestly, expect about 241 N of dependable working force at 0.5 MPa, which corresponds to lifting roughly 20 kg vertically once a 2:1 margin is applied.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MA-series datasheet. Barrel: stainless-steel tube (round-body, riveted rolling-packed construction); piston rod: carbon steel with 20µm hard-chrome plating; covers: aluminium alloy. Thread options: PT (blank) / G / NPT. Every MA-series cylinder ships with a built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG position sensors.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 402 N | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 563 N | 484 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 82 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

MA-family variants: MA / MAC (double acting ±cushion), MSA / MTA (single acting push / pull), MAD / MACD (double rod ±cushion), MAJ / MACJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion), MAR (cushioned with integrated F/U mount). Mounting accessories: FA flange, LB foot, SDB pivot; plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G / NPT.
Rolls bearings into housings through 60 mm; the 402 N push at 0.5 MPa covers light interference fits while the cushion removes the bang at seat.
Raises a slide gate weighing around 20 kg with margin to spare; pair a pilot check valve because the bare cylinder will not hold on air loss.
The CM round-end boss pivots with the dosing linkage, and needle-set cushioning keeps each 60 mm dose stroke repeatable at 300 mm/s.
Pick this bore when the 25 mm cylinder (245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa) feels marginal but the 40 mm unit (628.3 N) would overshoot budget and space. Remember the piston cannot hold position on lost air - a pilot check valve or rod lock handles loads that must stay raised. The CM round back cover pairs naturally with SDB pivot brackets for swinging motion, while FA flange or LB foot brackets suit fixed installs, and the standard magnet accepts a CMSG or EMSG switch with no special-order piston.
Quick checklist
Push at 0.5 MPa is 402.2 N, pull 345.6 N. At 0.7 MPa expect 563.0 N push and 483.8 N pull, with a theoretical ceiling of 82.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, and both ends are cushioned.
Its rounded boss accepts a pivot pin directly, so rocking linkages and swing clamps mount without a stack of adapters. If you would rather bolt it down, FA flange or LB foot brackets fit the same body, and the built-in magnet supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches as standard equipment.
